Yep! I have a list of common patterns I look for in logs and source code, but you really need to have developer education as well as tooling and processes

Will empathy help make our software development teams better? In this week’s episode of the Upstream podcast, Luis Villa sits with Kellan Elliot-McCrea of Adobe and Adam Jacon, CEO of System Initiative. Should software development teams be a team sport or an orchestra rather than a factory? How should we handle generational changes within software development teams?.

I use it for personal PR notifications, and have used it in the past for reminders for a team's pending PRs to a shared channel. Also used it to subscribe to push/pull_request/issue events to a repo, and found it's been alright

Apple saying they “pay developers” billions each year is like a bank saying they “pay” people that use their ATM. It’s our money! From paying customers! All Apple did was carry the bag from one place to another, and, in the process, dip their greedy fingers in it. Apple does not *pay* us for anything. They give us our own money after extracting a tax.
I'm not going to act like an expert on labor organizing. I didn't have that term in my vocabulary four years ago. Now it's one of the anchoring aspects of my life and something I'm deeply passionate …

you don't lose your engineers because they're solving dumb technical problems, but because leadership is bad. if leadership makes some sense then people do the work they need to do.
We spend roughly 10x as much time reading code as we do writing it. A tool or technique that makes you twice as "productive" at writing code *at best* makes you 5% more productive over all. Making your code easier to understand will have 10x the impact. But that doesn't sell tools or put developers out of work, so you won't be reading about it in Forbes.
40 straight years of supposed innovators whining like absolute babies at the faintest hint of government oversight, promising just endless Utopias if we embrace just two choices: either zero oversight at all, or shitty regulations they get to write that coddle the biggest and wealthiest

I’ve found myself referencing this a couple times recently. Both of those conversations were in the context of React, but the principle applies to every over-adopted technology.

Now that you’ve aced that CFP, the gang is back to share our best tips & tricks to help you give your best conference talk ever.

My local dry cleaner was struggling to pay the bills. He was losing $10,000/mo. I told him to "use AI to transform his business" He took my advice. Bought a $20/mo subscription for ChatGPT. His business is totally transformed. He now loses $10,020/mo.Chris Bakke (@ChrisJBakke)Tue, 23 May 2023 00:48 +0000

@www.jvt.me@www.jvt.me Maybe Goals and Constraints changed without the teams knowledge? Or they might have been left owning all the issues? Or they might have discovered a resource/requirements mismatch? I guess it depends how they got shafted, and who you're trying to tell.

Anyone got any work-appropriate alternatives for "(that team) got shafted"?
Out of interest, which functionality are you thinking? Microformats2? Micropub? POSSE? I think we've got some with Microformats2 markup somewhere 🤔
stock market dipped today. check notes for why… because an AI generated fake image of a Pentagon explosion was retweeted by a fake Bloomberg account with a paid blue check and RT’d by more blue checks. AWESOME! /s

Every study ever: Overworked employees are less productive. Employees who work from home are just as productive as employees who work in the office. The evidence is indisputable. Managers: I see. But I have a hunch that the complete opposite is true.
The not-for-profit, volunteer led conference I co-organise has had it rough. 2019 🚒 Fire Alarm 2021 🦠 Pandemic 2023 📉 Economic Crisis Lucky we like a challenge 😅 Maybe next time it'll be easier? Maybe?

Sudden flashback to age 10 or so, hearing the phrase "queer as a three dollar bill" from Aunt Mark, getting mad as heck, and insisting the phrase should be changed to "queer as a two dollar bill" because two dollar bills are unusual but actually exist and are legal tender.
Game industry job postings are the weirdest, worst things. “Requirements: Must be able to help our game achieve GOTY status” like uh. Okay? I’ll put that skill on my resume next to “able to win the lottery” and “can release a game before it will have started production”
Tech speakers, it's 2023. Stop using moms as your example of a non-technical audience. It's wrong, its not funny, and whatever you were saying, now most of your audience is not thinking about it. Just use the exec team as an example instead and get on with your life.

Grrrrr! Trying to get payment from a US vendor. Their form wouldn't submit unless I had a US phone number. Thank fuck for Google Voice! Oh, and it's a good thing that I remembered "my" zip code is 90210. Why don't Americans accept that the rest of the world exists? (Rhetorical question. Doesn't actually require you to explain anything.)
